Reviews

'A highly stimulating and impressive book which should be found in every library and every linguistics department. I strongly recommend it.' - International Journal of Lexicography
' An excellent reference book that provides a wealth of information and enables the experienced reader to enter quickly into new subject areas of CL [computational linguistics] and NLP [natural language processing]. . . . The particular strengths of the OHCL are the comprehensive computation-oriented discussion of the fundamental linguistic issues and the broad coverage of NLP methods and resources. It thus extensively accounts for the theoretical and methodological backgrounds of CL and NLP. . . . The publisher should consider issuing a moderately priced student's edition to make the OHCL affordable to the wide audience it definitely deserves. ' - Linguist List

Description

Describes major concepts, processes, methods, and applications in computational linguistics
An excellent point of reference for recent developments in this increasingly important discipline
Brings together a team of renowned international contributors including M. Kay, R. Kaplan, G. Leech, Y. Wilks, L. Karttunen, R. Kittredge, A. Joshi, H. Somers, R. Grishman, and E. Hovy

Thirty-eight chapters, commissioned from experts all over the world, describe major concepts, methods, and applications in computational linguistics. Part I, Linguistic Fundamentals , provides an overview of the field suitable for senior undergraduates and non-specialists from other fields of linguistics and related disciplines. Part II describes current tasks, techniques, and tools in Natural Language Processing and aims to meet the needs of post-doctoral workers and others embarking on computational language research. Part III surveys current Applications .

The book is a state-of-the-art reference to the one of the most active and productive fields in linguistics. It will be of interest and practical use to a wide range of linguists, as well as to researchers in such fields as informatics, artificial intelligence, language engineering, and cognitive science.

Readership: Academics and graduate students of linguistics and related disciplines; researchers in such fields as informatics, artificial intelligence, language engineering, and cognitive science
